With a price tag of CNY 699 (roughly Rs. 7,500), this new car air purifier is currently up for pre-orders and will start shipping to customers starting July 3. It will succeed the Mi Car Air Purifier launched back in 2016. The new variant comes with an increased CADR capacity of 80m3/h instead of the earlier 60m3/h on the Mi Car Air Purifier.

The fourth generation of Xiaomi's popular router lineup, the Mi Router 4, comes with dual-band (2.4GHz/ 5GHz) Wi-Fi 802.11ac, an MT7621A MIPS- Dual Core 880MHz processor, 128MB of NAND flash storage, 128MB of DDR3 RAM, and a multi-coloured LED indicator. It retains the design elements from its predecessor and its dimensions are 200x134.86x178.98mm. The router is compatible with apps on Web, Android, and iOS.

Coming to the Roidmi Car Air Purifier, a listing on Roidmi's website shows it is up for funding with 59 percent of its target achieved at press time. According to the progress chart, the project was started back in April 2017 and has taken more than 12 months to come to market. Manufactured by Xiaomi's ecological product brand Roidmi, the new air purifier sports a laser particle sensor and a full-effect composite filter, alongside an OLED panel and an 80m3/h CADR particulate matter filtering capacity - which claims to purify the air in the car within 2 minutes.
